Custom Window Systems Warranty

The CWS window warranty protects the vinyl frame for 30 years from manufacturing defects and the company will replace the defective parts for free (excluding installation costs). The hardware is warrantied for the life of the owner, while the screens have a 10 year provision and the insulated glass has a 20 year provision attached to them. After the 20 years, the company will still pay a prorated amount for manufacturing failings in the insulated glass units.

The warranty may be transferred to one subsequent owner as long as the company is notified in writing of the title transfer and there is a $50 fee to transfer. There are a number of exclusions and limitations as there are in all window warranties that consumers need to read before purchasing their windows.

CWS Window Cost Aria 610

My wife and I are having 12 Windows replaced at our Florida home. We have had 5 bids all from local companies with strong reputations in the Pensacola area. Because of your comments about CWS Windows we are seriously considering a bid on the aria 610 series (single hung) for $7500 which will cover all costs.

We have also received a similar price on Regency Plus Conservation Tech 2000 series 1712 ($7800) double hung, two separate bids on ViWiNTech 5100 series double hung LoE3 for $7800 and $8400. We are looking for your opinions and recommendations on the best windows and if the pricing is in line.

We are ok with single hung Windows which is what we asked on the bid from CWS...they are easier for my wife to reach. We live in single story ranch.

Appreciate your feedback since we are wanting to make decision in next day or two. Thank you so much for your time

Editor's Reply

Mark, I'm not exactly sure what the performance numbers are on the Aria 610, but I have to assume that they are a bit better than the Regency Plus Tech 2000, which aren't necessarily bad -- U-factor 0.30, SHGC 0.29, Condensation Resistance 59, VT 0.45, and Air Leakage 0.2. The AI of .2 is the number that concerns me.

I couldn't find the performance data on the Aria 610, but I have to assume it's a bit better, especially the air infiltration. As well, I would have to assume that the fit and tolerances on the CWS are going to be better than the Regency window.

As far as the ViwinTech, I've never been a big fan of their windows. Plus, they are more expensive than the CWS so that's a no brainer right there.

I'm going to have to recommend the CWS over the other options. I'd see if you could get the CWS rep to come down a bit off his price though.

Custom Window Systems vs PGT

One common questions consumers have is which one is better, CWS vs PGT windows? PGT is better known, mainly due to their larger distribution channels. In terms of quality, the two companies are very equal in strength. Each offers a good warranty on their vinyl and aluminum window models and offers good customer service. (There are customer compliants for each company, but the same could be said about every window company out there.)

Consumers would do well to get bids from both CWS and PGT dealers in their area to see which Series each carries and what prices they offer. Compare not only the per window cost, but also the window ratings on the series - a great site to compare ratings is the nfrc.org.
